The Umbrellas Don't Fit

I disagree with this umbrella drawing. I think that Christ is the top umbrella but the husband and wife umbrella should be side by side. The wife is an important adviser to the husband and works along side him. The children are under both of them.

When the husband is disobedient to the Word, then the wife must be anyway. The wife is not saved because of the husband, she has her own born again status.

Husband and wife are one, the wife is an authority over the children as well as the husband. The husband should submit to the wife in many ways as well as she submitting to Him.

Ephesians 5:21 "Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God."

If both husband and wife are believers then they are also brother and sister in the Lord. Yes the man has been given the spiritual authority over the family, but he is not absolute dictator. He is a benevolent leader who takes into account the councel of his wife.
